sxsw 2012 day two , heartless bastards, motopony, apache relay, big sam's funky nation
GSD&M Industry party SXSW 2012. it doesn't get much better than this! friends, open bar pouring the good stuff, free taco dinner and some up and coming bands that gave great performances.
if your band is planning to come to SXSW, make sure you come ready to give your best. the other bands surely will. these guys really issued a top notch effort.
we were up against the stage. I like to watch the personalities within the bands, and how they solve problems. the bass player for heartless bastards turned to the guitar player, "I'm all out of whiskey". guitar player smiled, "it's OK. you can have some of mine" whiskey problem solved, the show went on.
we made many new friends too:
I saw this girl was not wearing much, dancing and appered to be a bit tipsy... next thing I know she was all over me. it was like I was the test dummy at a TSA training facility. she told me the GA sticker was "scratch and sniff". she said a bunch of other things that I will not relay, to keep it slightly safe for work. I did mention "ya know, my wife is right there..." it was about then that my wife had started to take photos of my sticky situation.
then we hit sixth street for some street food.
we saw a new street food vendor down on 6th street. skewers with chicken and white bread, grilled then drizzled with a variety of sauces.
kat saw them and had to have one. then,...
an asian girl ran over, very excited. "where did you get THAT?!" you like asian chicks? get a chicken bread skewer kabob thing and they will come running.
Downtown New Orleans party at Lucky Lounge:
we cleared the guest list but the lucky lounge was PACKED by the time we arrived.
I love that the bass player was using his iphone to take pics of the show during the show.
hostess laswanda and big sam
I love it when random people jump into the background of pics. I didn't even notice them when I took the photo. and here their friendly faces are, smiling at me the morning after.
